Get the status of a Kasm session.
AI agents call get_session_status to retrieve information from Kasm MCP Server v2 without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves status information about an existing Kasm session. It performs a simple data query operation without creating, modifying, deleting, executing commands, or moving resources. The ability to retrieve session status poses minimal security risk as it only exposes read-only information about the state of a session.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_session_status' and description 'Get the status of a Kasm session' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no modifications or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the status of a Kasm session. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Kasm MCP Server v2 MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Kasm MCP Server v2 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_session_status: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Kasm MCP Server v2. Nothing to install.
get_session_status is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_session_status rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_session_status. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_session_status is provided by the Kasm MCP Server v2 MCP server (roguedev-ai/kasm-mcp-server-v2). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
